Refrigerator; derived from the Latin frigeratus, "to cool somewhat." Adding the "re" part means to do it twice, which is why refrigerators have the one cold part and then the other really cold part above, below, or to one side.
Abraham Lincoln was once heard to propose that "In the future, there will be a household appliance that will not only preserve food, but in its many configurations will teach prepositions to a generation."
